Microsoft Vaguely Aware It Kinda Sucks Sometimes
,----[ Quote ]
| Hmmm. Yes, very corporate-y with a touch of humility, unlike the sour mash of
| tossed chairs and Ballmer sweat. Bottom line: Unlike Google's newest
| approach, which involves decreasing the search ad real estate in order to
| increase relevance and converting clicks, Microsoft is looking to change
| what's relevant. Johnson's words make it almost sound like SS Mr. Softy is
| changing course into e-commerce waters almost exclusively.

Microsoft’s credibility turning to junk while Linux revenue grows
,----[ Quote ]
| Sweeping changes are needed in Microsoft’s go-to-market approach, and it may
| find more success by creating products like Live Writer, which found a huge
| following right away. Continuing on its current path, the company will
| continue to destroy its credibility and build animosity with users looking
| for quality products on their terms.

| Would you believe... that Microsoft has dropped down to #86 within the
| Fortune Best Places to Work survey? That's down from #50 in 2007 and #42 in
| 2006. Like a rock. In a bad way. And who is #1 for two years in a row? Grab
| that chair and give it a big effen toss in the air to Google! Toot! They get
| bigger and they're still #1.

Apple has biggest impact on world consumers: survey
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft, the world's largest software maker was also a winner, but it
| received the dubious honor of the brand most readers wanted to argue with,
| and the one they most wanted to revamp. Voted into second place in the
| category was brand USA.
